This is the mini existential crisis I have randomly. The attack area for a modern IT computer is mind bogglingly massive. Computers are pulling and executing code from a vast array of “trusted” sources without a sandbox. If any one of those “trusted” sources are compromised (package managers, cdns, OS updates, security software updates, just app updates in general, even specific utilities like xz) then you’re absolutely screwed.

It’s hard not to be a little nihilistic about security.
